Celebrate the fifth on the weekend of the fourth. The fifth edition of The Pulse that is!

The newest version of The Pulse, an online survey in words and pictures of over 125 artists, starts out with a bang this coming Fourth of July weekend. The Pulse is a collaborative project that has been part of The Altered Page since January 2008. Its purpose is to "tap into the pulse" of the mixed-media arts community and share with you the "state of the art." This project will introduce you to new artists, help you get to know familiar faces even more, and provide a window into the creative hearts and minds of the talented pool of artists working today.

For three consecutive days beginning Saturday July 2nd, and every Sunday thereafter, The Altered Page will be presenting the results of this year's artist survey as a series of mini projects. The opening weekend will also include a giveaway of a copy of The Pulse: The Zine, which is now out of print and no longer available.

Can't wait till the 3rd? You can read the posts from all four previous editions of The Pulse by clicking on the links always available on my sidebar.

So much to look forward to. Can't wait to meet new artists as well as those I'm familiar with from your blog! Thanks again Seth for being the mastermind behind such a huge collaborative effort. It's such a gift to those that participate by being included and those who can read and see what everyone has contributed!

Seth - I was wondering if, in all your spare time , LOL!, if you had any plans to "zine" the other Pulses? I love paging through the one I have. Maybe because I'm a book person, just something about having it in your hands, rather than on the screen. That said, can't wait for this weekend!Erin

I have really enjoyed all the art in the pulse, Everything you have chosen has been interesting and provocative. The great thing about the internet for me is that I can see what other artists are dong. What a great job you have done with this blog! I am so happy to be a part of it.
